Chapter 722: Underground
Lan Ran looked at the shameless Qin Ziling speechlessly, then quickly turned his gaze to the two wolves in front of his feet, with a hint of satisfaction and expectation in his eyes.
The relics of ancient mythical beasts are truly natural tonics. Eating them directly can increase immortal power and strengthen the blood and physical body. There are no side effects. The only problem is the individual's ability to digest and absorb.
Tai Shi Ba and others are from the Golden Dragon Clan. Their real bodies are huge and powerful, and their appetites are amazing. In addition, except for Tai Shi Ba, all of them are at the eighth-grade True Immortal realm. Tai Shi Ba has even reached the ninth-grade True Immortal realm.
So they opened their mouths wide and could swallow a whole ground wolf in one bite. Tai Shiba even swallowed two wolf leaders whose combat power was comparable to that of a seventh-grade true immortal at one time.
Lan Ran's appetite was naturally far from comparable to theirs. To her, half a ground wolf was definitely a feast. Now that the two of them not only survived the disaster, but also got two ground wolves, she was naturally satisfied and expectant.
"Don't be in a hurry to eat. Since this is where the ground wolves live in groups, there must be ground spirit fruits underground. Let's find the ground spirit fruits first and eat them with the ground wolf meat. Not only can we remove the earthy smell of the ground wolf meat, but the efficacy will also be better." Qin Ziling said.
Seeing that Qin Ziling revealed her thoughts in one sentence, Lan Ran's usually dignified and steady face couldn't help but blush slightly, but she was soon attracted by Qin Ziling's next words.
"Earth Spirit Fruit? Why have I never heard of this fruit? How did you know about it?" Lan Ran asked in surprise.
"Hehe, although my realm is low, I know a lot of things!" Qin Ziling said with a proud smile, and did not directly answer Lan Ran's question.
This knowledge naturally came from the fire dragon, which had lived for who knows how many years and had fought against countless ancient mythical beasts.
"Didn't you say you are only over a hundred years old? How could you know more than me? I just happened to hear some rumors . However, many rumors become more and more mysterious as they spread, so you are the only one who takes them seriously! If the Earth Spirit Fruit you mentioned is real, how could the people in the Taishi family not know about it? The Taishi family is an ancient Golden Dragon family, and its heritage is much longer than that of our Jiuxuan Sect." Lan Ran couldn't help rolling his eyes when he saw Qin Ziling's smug look on his face.
"Whether there is any, we can find out by exploring underground. Just wait for me." Qin Ziling smiled without comment. As he spoke, yellow smoke escaped from his body and the soil under his feet melted like ice, creating ripples.
Then, a cloud of yellow smoke enveloped Qin Ziling and quickly penetrated into the ground that was rippling like water waves.
"Earth Escape!" Lan Ran was slightly stunned. She had always thought that Qin Ziling was good at fire-based Taoism.
As soon as he entered the earth, Qin Ziling separated a part of his soul to pay attention to the situation on the ground, while he used all his strength to perform the earth escape technique.
The further down they went, the stronger the aura of strange power became, as if this land had been deeply cursed. If it were anyone else, they would naturally not dare to go any deeper, but for Qin Ziling, his Niwan Palace was as solid as a rock, and his soul and golden body emitted thousands of feet of golden light. He was simply immune to all evil and had nothing to fear.
On the contrary, the further he went down, the faster he went, and the more surprise appeared in his eyes.
Soon, Qin Ziling went more than a thousand feet into the earth, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
An underground world with a radius of nearly a hundred miles appeared before his eyes.
At the center of this underground world is an underground lake of several hundred acres. In the center of the underground lake there is a small island. On the island grows a huge fruit tree, on which hang fruits that emit a yellow glow and are the same size and shape as huanghuali.
There are actually forty or fifty wolves of all sizes living around the underground lake.
As soon as they saw Qin Ziling, an alien creature, breaking in, they immediately bared their teeth, their eyes flashed with bloodthirsty ferocity, and they surrounded Qin Ziling, howling.
"Haha, I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. Not bad, not bad!" Qin Ziling couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw this. With a thought, nearly a hundred Wujimen disciples appeared around him.
"Keep your mind focused and fight quickly and decisively!" Qin Ziling ordered.
The most powerful of the earth wolves guarding the underground nest are only two that are comparable to sixth-rank True Immortals, and most of them are only comparable to fourth- or fifth-rank True Immortals.
Among these nearly one hundred Wuji Sect disciples who were moved out, the lowest cultivation level was that of a fourth-grade True Immortal or a fourth-grade Cave Heaven Realm Human Immortal. Most of them were fifth-grade True Immortals or fifth-grade Cave Heaven Realm Human Immortals, and a few were sixth-grade True Immortals. Even if Zhu Run and Bi Rong did not burn their bloodline power, they were still considered powerful among the sixth-grade True Immortals.
And Xiao Qing is a fifth-grade human immortal in the Cave Heaven Realm, but his combat power is that of a sixth-grade true immortal who is extremely powerful.
These nearly one hundred Wuji Sect disciples suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shocking the grinning wolves so much that their green eyes widened and their tails drooped down. Some of them began to emit yellow smoke and they curled up their bodies and tried to escape.
"kill!"
How could the Wuji Sect disciples let them escape? They all shouted and rushed towards the wolf pack.
Each of these Wuji Sect disciples have been tempered in Luanmo Ridge for many years, fighting head-on with monsters every day. All of them are eager to fight and are most adapted to this kind of hard battle without any calculation. Moreover, their souls and minds have been tempered by the demonic energy of Luanmo Ridge, so they have certain experiences and advantages in resisting the strange power aura in Dark Emperor Heaven.
Nearly a hundred Wuji Sect disciples rushed forward like wolves and tigers. In a few moves, they killed wolves all over the ground. The bright red blood flowed into the underground lake, dyeing the water red and bubbling continuously.
In just a few dozen breaths, all forty-six wolves were killed.
"Forty-six! Not bad, enough for us to have a great nourishment." Qin Ziling glanced at the corpses of the earth wolves and happily moved them all into the Qiankun Cave Heaven. Then he moved Xiao Qing and others into the Qiankun Cave Heaven as well.
This underground world is full of strange power, and staying there for too long is not good for them. However, if they come out from time to time to experience it, and then quickly return to the Qiankun Cave Heaven World to relax and refine it, it will be of great benefit to tempering their souls and minds.
The reason why this strange power aura is extremely dangerous to those who enter the Dark Emperor Heaven and makes them very wary is that for twenty years, they have to endure the erosion of this strange power aura all the time, and have no chance to refine the strange power aura and repair themselves halfway.
In this way, this strange power is not a training for them, but a destruction. It is a constantly invading toxin, and when it accumulates to a certain level, it will become a catastrophe.
Qin Ziling's Qiankun Cave Heaven has become another small world, which just happened to be a safe haven for the Wuji Sect disciples to dissolve the strange power aura during their practice. In this way, the strange power aura in the Dark Emperor Heaven has become a whetstone for their practice. Every time of polishing can make them sharper.
After moving Xiao Qing and others into the Qiankun Cave Heaven, Qin Ziling used his dragon claws to dig up the entire earth spirit fruit tree in the center of the lake and the small island where it grew, moved them into the Qiankun Cave Heaven, and planted them at the foot of Qianlong Mountain.
After all this was done, Qin Ziling spoke a few words to Xiao Qing, Jian Bailou and the others, then he picked two earth spirit fruits with satisfaction and escaped from the ground.
A cloud of yellow smoke emerged from the ground, revealing Qin Ziling, who was holding two fruits emitting a yellow glow in his hands.
"Is this the Earth Spirit Fruit? There really is an Earth Spirit Fruit!" Lan Ran said in surprise with her beautiful eyes wide open.
"Yes, this is the Earth Spirit Fruit. When we cook the Earth Wolf later, we will squeeze some of the juice into it. It will definitely be fragrant and delicious." Qin Ziling said.
After Lan Ran got the affirmative answer, she recalled her doubts just now and her expression became a little awkward, but she soon returned to normal. Her beautiful eyes showed a hint of anticipation and she said, "This canyon is great. Why don't we find a place here to cook a small half-head first?"
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I have to improve my strength as soon as possible, otherwise how can I compete with others for opportunities." Qin Ziling nodded, then glanced around and saw a pool of water washed out by a waterfall four or five miles away. There were green grass and trees and bright wild flowers around it. It was a good place for a picnic, so he pointed there and said, "That's not bad."
"Yeah!" Lan Ran nodded approvingly.
Even a woman like Lan Ran, a seventh-grade True Immortal with profound cultivation, is still somewhat particular about her diet and environment.
The two of them leaped to the edge of the pool.
There is an outlet beside the pool, which flows slowly to the lower place and forms a small stream.
Lan Ran is not a spoiled girl who has never been involved in women's activities.
When she arrived at the field, she took out a wolf from her storage ring, pointed her finger at the wolf in the air, and a sharp ice blade cut the wolf in half. Then she carried the half wolf and prepared to go to the nearby stream to skin and clean it.
"Master Lan Feng, let me do it, let me do it." Qin Ziling saw this and hurriedly grabbed it.
"Okay!" Seeing Qin Ziling rushing to do the rough and dirty work, Lan Ran hesitated for a moment, then nodded without refusing.
"Take out the other one and a half as well. I've dealt with them all." Qin Ziling said.
Lan Ran didn't think much about it and took out the other half and gave them to Qin Ziling.
Qin Ziling carried two tiger-sized wolves to the riverside, skinned and boned them skillfully in no time, and returned to the pond after cleaning them.
At this time, Lan Ran had already set up the barbecue grill.
But her barbecue grill was built according to the size of a half-wolf.
Upon seeing this, Qin Ziling took out a large rack from his storage ring, then strung together the two processed ground wolves and placed them on it. He then threw out several fire talismans, and flames began to burn under the rack.
"Why are both ends grilled? I heard that the barbecued meat of this legendary beast tastes better and has a better effect if it is grilled right away." Lan Ran said.
"Hehe, I have a big appetite, and even half a head is not enough for me to eat alone!" Qin Ziling said.
"Nonsense. Although the strength of these two earth wolves is not that great, they should be at the level of fifth-grade True Immortals. The energy contained in their flesh and blood is very powerful. Even I can't digest half of them in one breath. What will happen if you eat half of them at once?" Lan Ran said unhappily.
